Corruption time

“Se pare ca pixelii sufera de Tourette sau ceva grav s-a intamplat. Investim atat de mult in plasme, LCD-uri si monitoare HD pentru o imagine clara si, de fapt primim exact invers?”

Cam asa ceva am putea sa ne intrebam revoltati, injurandu-i pe cei care ne strica imaginea cea clara.

Datamoshing is a technique of video editing frequently employed in video art and music videos. It is also referred to as compression artefacts or compression glitch (in reference to glitch music). The visual style is produced by an exploit of the way different video codecs process motion and color information. The technique was poineered by artists David OReilly and Takeshi Murata, and more recently popularized in music videos for Chairlift and Kanye West.

Datamoshing is the new tiltshift. I guarantee. Now it’s just a matter of who’ll do it well and which big company will soullessly make a campaign out of it “because the kids think it’s ‘dope.”
